CL whackage - no geopolitical fear premium here...
 
Quote from darkhorse:

With all that said, if markets have flummoxed you to the point of having no clear money-making strategy or logical processes for moving forward, you should not close your eyes and blindly trust the Fed (who is likely to fail you at the worst time). Instead you should stop trading until you've found your way back to a confident and rational place (in this trader's humble opinion).

I think the strategy of buying based on QE3 is clear and many funds follow it. Let us talk again at the end of the year about who was right or wrong. I have no problem to admit I was wrong. Do you?

Interesting developments for gunmakers Ruger (RGR) and Smith & Wesson (SWCH)

FBI reports deceleration in background checks for buying handguns.

Both stocks have enjoyed relatively strong bull runs, but now look vulnerable to a pullback.

If analysts begin reducing forward estimates, we could see a sharp contraction in the PE multiples as the growth premium deflates.

Blackrock Inc. (BLK) is breaking out of a nice base as the company expands its portfolio of investment products.

The company's expertise in fixed income should be particularly helpful as individual investors continue to roll capital into bond funds - not trusting the rally in stocks...

Bubble for Netflix Inc. (NFLX) re-inflating?

The company's growth story is still full of holes (what's after RedBox again??) and the stock is listed at 73X next year's EPS estimates.

Will be interesting to see if Morgan Stanley's upgrade today will break the resistance line, or whether today will turn out to be a 'gap & crap' event...
 
CMI-Chart-2012-10-10.png


The news out of Cummins Inc. (CMI) is pretty bad this morning.

Via Bloomberg, the company is cutting up to 1,500 jobs and lowering revenue expectations.

"Customers are delaying capital expenditures in a number of markets, lowering demand for our products." ~ Tom Linebarger, CEO

Cummins' report is especially troubling because of the number of markets they serve (agriculture, construction, mining, etc). It will be interesting to see if weakness bleeds into CAT, JOY, DE along with infrastructure, project management and other related industries.
